Hungarian crescent shaped treat filled with jam or cinnamon, sugar, and chopped nuts.
1 cup butter, softened
1 cup cream cheese
pinch of salt
1 Tbs. sour cream
2 cups flour
jam (tart jams such as raspberry or apricot work best)
Cream together butter, cream cheese, salt, and sour cream. Stir in flour. On a floured surface, knead the dough with your hands until it’s smooth. Chill the dough in the refrigerator for 3 hours.
Place the chilled dough on a lightly floured countertop. Roll the dough thin (about 1/8”). With a table knife, cut the dough into 3-inch squares. Spread one corner of each square with jam. Starting in that corner, roll up each square, then curve in the ends to form a crescent.
Gently place the crescents on a cookie sheet. Bake 350 degrees for 15-20 minutes, or until the edges are beginning to turn golden.
